Looking for my grandfather, John Wesley BULLINGTON, born in Cookeville
TN. He lived with his wife, Daisy Darno Chambers BULLINGTON, in
Lebanon, TN. Date of birth/death unknown. For a time reference, one
of his sons (my father, Lilburn Sydny BULLINGTON, was born in Sep
1909). Grandmother (Daisy) died in Feb 1965. I presume that he lived
around 1885 - 1950. Photographs show that he lived to at least 65
years of age. Additionally, family stories say that she (Daisy)
initially married a BULLINGTON who disappeared during an early war,
then later married his brother (John Wesley). The validity of this
story is questioned. Also trying to trace her family which may have
been Sophronia Snow LIVINGSTONE (mother) and John Manlove CHAMBERS
(father).

Hello,
I am Dr. Richard Cantrell and I was raised in Albany, Georgia. I was born in
1954 and my father was James Howard Cantrell. He was born in March 1915 or
1916, probably in Tennessee, his father was Marion CANTRELL. He supposedly was
married to a Cherokee Indian, last name FRYE or FRY. As both grandparents passed
on prior to my birth and my father spoke little of them except of his Indian
heritage, I have little to go on. I know that my Grandparents were married in
Tennessee probably at the turn of the century give or take ten years but I
don't know the county or anything like that and
I know that the Cantrell's came to Tennessee from Georgia or South Carolina.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
